Chapter 629: For the Power of Change
Looking at Rod's back, the canary was silent.
Although it is said to be a phantom in Rod's memory, she is still the one who knows Rod's best, and because of this, the canary can understand more about how determined Rod was when he said this.
The player is selfish in nature.
After coming to this world, Rhodes has always behaved very tough, calm, and composed. He will always be confident, decisive and determined in front of Lijie and others. But the canary knew that it was not easy for Rhodes to make this decision, and there was more than one path and choice in front of Rhodes, he could go to the Night Dragon Kingdom and seek his place in that great empire full of change and development, instead of confronting a powerful enemy in the Duchy of Moon, which was not only pressure from the front, but also wary of conspiracy from the rear. But for Rod, he chose a path to thorns, and it was not just as a player, a sense of belonging to his birthplace or a good impression of Lydia, of course, it is undeniable that these factors also occupied a place in Rod's decision, but the canary knew that Rod's plan was not limited to this.
While it may seem like a lot of choice, it's not. Of course, Rhodes can go to the Night Dragon Country, but in a country dominated by undead creatures, human beings are only second- and third-class existences, and if a good person doesn't take the initiative to become a slave, Rhodes naturally can't do it. And the country of light has never been in the scope of Rod's choice, with his understanding and dislike of the country of light, it is better for Rhodes to go to the country of light to be an accomplice of that group of lackeys. If Rod doesn't have the strength, then he can only choose to accept this reality, as if in reality, if he doesn't have enough strength and strength to stand out. Then in the end, you are just one of the many living beings, your life and death have no impact on this society, this world, and your only meaning among billions of people is the Arabic numerals that represent the increase and decrease of the number of people, and that's it.
It's the same in the Dragon Soul Continent.
But now it's different, Rhodes has a lot of experience. Knowledge, his strength is also recovering. So, why did he have to be a player who went with the flow as before, and didn't resist until the shadow of destruction fell on his head?
He wanted to change that, to change the history of this already fixed trajectory, which at first was a vague idea in Rhodes's mind, but as time went on. The idea became clearer and clearer, clearer, from a presumably vague outline to a sharper, more definite pattern.
And now, the last piece of the puzzle is finally complete.
"Let's go."
After pocketing Asha's Tears, Rhodes was silent for a moment before speaking.
"There's a lot of work to be done."
Marlene deserves to be called the King of the Red Hand. Led by Little Bubblegum, after a search of the hidden treasure troves inside the monastery. Everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that this was really rewarding. First of all, the Holy Maiden suit that has always kept Canary and Little Bubblegum in mind is naturally a piece of non-pull touched by Marlene, this Holy Maiden suit can be regarded as a very good equipment for mid-term spellcasters, it not only comes with a small spell deflection shield, but also has three storage spell slots, which can allow the caster to store three spells in it, which is ready for emergencies. Besides. The group also collected a judgment set, as well as a few magic items and equipment that seemed to have relatively good attributes. Although these equipment Rhodes and Canaries are not eye-catching, it is still enough to take them back and arm the others.
And the next thing is the big play.
After this, Rhodes carried out a brutal ransack of the entire monastery. Not only did he plunder the treasures that had been stored in the monastery for hundreds of thousands of years, but he didn't even let go of the armor and weapons that were kept in the warehouse, the Holy Spirit Knights were still able to hold such a strong fighting power after so many years, and their weapons and equipment were naturally carefully maintained. And although the styles of these weapons and armor have changed somewhat after thousands of years of wind and rain, they are still very good overall. In terms of attributes alone, their value can also be compared to the equipment attributes of about thirty levels.
Although it is said that the armor on the corpse Rhodes did not pick it up, he did not let go of all these things in the warehouse, and swept them all. Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle, so you can simply take it back for your own private soldiers, and you don't have to spend money to buy it again. After deciding to build the statue of the Holy Maiden, Rhodes has already planned to cut back on food and clothing, although since the establishment of the guild, they have also received quite a lot of money because of the continuous victories of the connection, but the money is still not spent, and it is natural that they can save a little bit at the moment.
In fact, Rhodes had the idea of expanding his private army for a long time, and in addition to John's cavalry, infantry and archers were also an indispensable subordinate of a nobleman. It can even be said that this is the main composition of their personnel, and it is not a long-term problem that Rhodes only has a pitiful cavalry under his command at the moment, but there are no regular military units such as infantry and archers. Especially now, Rhodes officially owns his own territory, so he must have his own private army to maintain and protect the security of the territory and his own interests. Although the mercenaries in the guild can also be used for these things, the different identities between the two sides determine the difference in positions. Mercenaries are paid to do things, but private soldiers are loyal to the lord. Moreover, the mercenaries are relatively casual, but the private soldiers are restrained by strict rules and regulations, and the attitudes and ideas between the two sides are also completely different. In the past, the reason why Rhodes did not expand his private army team, in addition to the reason for the shortage of manpower, the biggest trouble was that he did not have enough weapons and equipment.
Lizzie and Marlene were stunned by this scene, and in the convent, Rod, Little Bubblegum, and Canary gave full play to the player's locust-like looting properties, except for those that had been polluted by evil rituals, or were too large and heavy to move, the rest were swept into half-dimensional space by the trio. From weapons and armor to painting carpets, all in all, as long as they are intact and pleasing to the eye, some things can be taken away for their own use, and some things can be sold for some money, although they are not worth a few dollars, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.
Rod and the others moved with peace of mind, anyway, the Holy Spirit Knights have been destroyed, and it is a waste to keep these things, and it is the most important thing to simply take them back to reflect their own value, and players generally do this in the game. On the contrary, Marlene and Lijie were dumbfounded, and they didn't know what to say. Not to mention Rod, just the practice of a little bubble gum and canary is enough to open their eyes, watching the two individuals move around in full swing, stuffing all the things that come into view into the half-dimensional space, it is completely impossible to imagine that the two young ladies in front of them are powerhouses in the legendary realm, if they are seen by people who don't know the way, I am afraid they will think that they are disaster victims or robbers...............
Fortunately, Canary, as a mage in the legendary realm, was able to open and summon the half-plane space, otherwise there would be so many things Rhodes would have the heart to move back, and I am afraid it would be very difficult.
This time was definitely a great harvest for Rod, and after the whole inventory, he not only got Asha's Tears, two magic sets, but also a legendary-level weapon (although no one could use it), a total of 500 sets of well-made armor and long swords, plus those silver flasks and wine glasses, etc., which could be sold for a lot of money. And after this trip to the monastery, Rhodes also successfully ascended to level 50, which shows that the monastery is indeed a necessary place for players to level up and farm treasures. Now the only pity for Rhodes is that he can't brush back and forth in reality, otherwise he won't even go back to the fortress, just brush back and forth here for more than ten days, and he will almost be able to enter the legendary realm...............
After sweeping the monastery from the inside out like a passing locust, and making sure that nothing was missing, the satisfied Rhodes had the canary set the poor and unfortunate monastery on fire, and from then on there was no more Abbey of the Holy Spirit in the Glenbuel Mountains.
With the treasures collected from the monastery, Rhodes and the others quickly returned to the fortress through the portal, which is the benefit of the Otherworldly Gate, no matter where Rod and the others are on the continent, as long as they want to return to the fortress, then it is only a blink of an eye. And after returning to the fortress, Rhodes threw out all the things in the half-dimensional space, and the next thing was naturally to divide the spoils.................. Uh, how does that feel a little wrong?
In addition to the two spell-casting sets assigned to Little Bubblegum and Canary, Rhodes also took out fifty sets of mercenaries from those armors and distributed them to his own mercenaries, although recruiting people is also important, but his own henchmen are also a must. Fortunately, there are many soldiers in the guild who have been discharged from the army for various reasons, and Rhodes is planning to take this opportunity to find fifty mercenaries who are loyal to him, and promote them to his own private army, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation for his future legion recruitment. Of course, before that, the emblem of the Knights of the Holy Spirit on the armor must be erased.
But for Rod, the most important thing is Asha's tears. (To be continued.) )
